Sigmon - One Opens Up. New CD out now!

Sigmon's premiere solo release "One Opens Up" addresses an all-too-noticeable absence of intelligent, world-wise pop music. This thirteen song collection is an engaging piece of work that aspires to re-energize the genre for adults who grew up believing that music needed substance as well as style to be great. The album was released September 5, 2006 and is available at http://www.matthewsigmon.com.

This self-performed, self-produced collection of catchy, witty observations has culminated from a decade of contemplation and introspection. Navigating in and around established pop territory, Sigmon layers Beatle-esque harmonies on top of Matthew Sweet pop sensibilities, and sprinkles in a quirkiness that is reminiscent of Peter Gabriel. Songs like "Millennium Man" take stock of humanity's current state after "three million years of evolution" while "Possibility"'s backbeat smacks of Elvis Costello's "Pump It Up". These thirteen tracks forge a sound that recalls many influences, yet is clearly unique, inspiring many more listens.

Site down - DDOS attack

As of 11am AEST the site was taken down by my host, it appears at that time the site was under a DDOS attack. I'm not sure of the actual type of attack or if even it was the case. But as those visiting would have noticed that site was not accessible.

Sorry about the inconvenience and I hope it doesn't happen again. Thank you for your patience.

New Games Site from @rumbaar.net R�m��r's Games World

Introducing a new site from @rumbaar.net R�m��r's Games World.

As many of you know I've also got a passion for online/offline games. With that in mind I wanted a place where I can indulge this passion and also have a place where hopefully people will come to participate. There are a selection of popular online games I'll be dealing with directly, but am hoping that it will be an ever expanding portal to games which people will come to enjoy and find a source of knowledge.

With this in mind I've begun the ground work, with some tutorials and downloads. But it will also require members to become involved and even manage/submit various news worthy content. So remember this site will deal with any and all games that are of interest, with the rest open to any members suggest or need.

I hope to see you there.

Hybrid Update!!

Well the great err0r of TechGear007 has generously updated Hybrid to:
a) Update the mirc.exe to the latest 6.17 version.
b) Include the TG007 Vincula, TGCookie updater & TGK's Vincula Room Creator!
a) Make it work!

This means that as default and 'out of the box' Hybrid is once again a fully functional script. All the content is the same and the only modifications are those which are listed above. The current download file has been updated to the 'new' version of Hybrid and can be found in the download section.

So my special thanks goes out to err0r for taking the time and effort to update Hybrid. You can also still find Hybrid available @ TG007.

Enjoy

Two new site themes.

As some might have noticed the site theme has changed. I've uploaded two new themes fiapple and Coldsteel. These both come with whole forum themes.

You can access available themes via Your Account module. I hope you find these changes pleasing, if not I'm sure you'll let me know :)

Site down.

Well as you are reading this, you'll know the site is back up. For around 4-5 hours this morning (local time) my host has server issues.

It appears a customer had a malicious script that caused major issues on the server. All appears to be fixed now and they are working on a permanent solution.

All back to normal, fingers cross.

Well 'tis the season to be jolly. So from myself and our fellow members we wish you a Merry Christmas.
